Sounds creates a variety of distracting sounds around a target making it less able to defend itself and imparting a -20 penalty to its defensive strength (DS). This spell works without fail against targets up to 15 levels above the caster. Each additional level of the target beyond the caster a 20% penalty is applied to the failure rate, capping at 20 levels above the caster, when the spell becomes useless.
Further training in the Ranger Base circle imparts an additional DS penalty on the target, maximizing at the 70 ranks and a -50 DS penalty. The level of the target can affect this bonus, but the penalty will always be at least -20 to the target's DS with a successful cast.
Furthermore, the target receives a base 10% hindrance to its spell casting, which can be increased with training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning. The spell casting hindrance of this spell is separate from the spell casting hindrance one would suffer from wearing heavier armors.
Archers and users of thrown weapons (hurlers) also suffer a penalty to aiming, lessening the chance they will hit their mark. Sounds also hinders attempts to disarm traps.
